The Aurora, Colorado movie theater where 12 people were killed last July during a shooting rampage is reopening Thursday with a private ceremony honoring the victims.

Cinemark's "evening of remembrance" at the renovated theater — now named the Century Aurora instead of Century 16 — comes nearly 6 months after James Holmes allegedly opened fire on an audience watching a July 20 midnight screening of "The Dark Knight Rises." About 70 people were also wounded in the attack.
